can anybody explain why 'guide' can not be the answer in the following question?
Q: These basic principles provide general ____that can help students increase their chances for a successful application with any company.
(A) guidance (B) guide
It would need an "a" in front of "general". Then you could use it.
A "guide" is a person or document of some sort that provides information. "Guidance" is the information being presented.
In your statement, the document containing the basic principles is the guide and a guide can't provide a guide. A guide provides guidance.
